the minimum wage in the UK is £5.35ph so you can't excactly say that the crew are working for £1.70ph. If that would be the case you have a very strong case against your company when demanding a pay rise.
You don't want any smart comments. the following is not a smart comment but the thruth.
When you signed your eployment contract you knew what your payslip would look like. There is no point in complaining about it after you signed your contract. There is a way in solving this issue and that is that nobody accepts such a working practise. If the company's at the lower end can't get any staff because they don't pay enough they have to increase the pay. Because without staff no airline. But if you increase it to much and the airline is not competitive anymore than they won't need any staff because they have no passengers.
You say you love your job. Why don't you apply to BA? Work for a 'better'
company and receive more pay.
